The regular monthly meeting of the Salina Public Library Board
was held at 4:00 p.m. Thursday, January 23, 1997, in the Campbell
Room.
The following Board members were present: Nancy Chandler, Jim
Sullivan, Janet Wilbur, and Billie Winkler. Others present were:
Karla Prickett, Arts Services Coordinator for the Arts and
Humanities Commission, Joe McKenzie, and Cynthia Smull.
Jim Sullivan called the meeting to order and asked that the
presentation of the piece of art be made at this time.
Karla Prickett presented a piece of art purchased at the Smoky
Hill River Festival to be exhibited at the Library indefinitely.
The Library already has a stained glass "Tweety Bird" which was
exhibited in the Children's Department. These items are received
from the Salina Arts and Humanities Commission for exhibit.
Board members went on a tour of the lower level renovation to
observe progress being made toward completion of the new Children's
Department and the Prescott Room area.
Jim asked if there were any changes in the minutes of the
December meeting. No corrections were suggested. The minutes of
the December 1996 meeting stand as written.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: None
DISCUSSION: Joe updated the Board on the Renovation Project. Joe
passed out the change orders presented by the architect. The Board
discussed the change orders. Joe wants to do more research on
change order #3. Change order #2 will be revised. Not as many
additional electrical outlets as first thought will be needed. The
heating and cooling of the area may not be the problem first
thought. Art thought a different approach could be used to control
the cooling in the computer room area.
The Board discussed the Children's Department Grand opening.
The opening is tentatively set for Saturday, May 3, 1997. Janet
Wilbur will be the Board representative to the Grand Opening
Committee.
ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to come before the
Board, the meeting was adjourned by Jim Sullivan.
